I fear the struggle
I fear the strife
A fear of death
A fear of life
...

I have sunk and fallen deep in to a pair of blue eyes
Blue just like the ocean I was sailing when I capsized
Floating on my back staring up at the dazzling blue skies
Though the mouth may speak wrong words those blue orbs cannot tell lies
...

I punish myself, for what? I don't know
My body lies quivering, at rest in the snow
But I don't feel the cold, it's strange, but it's true
There's something much deeper that is making me blue
...

I learned of love the hardest way
The experience I take
I wouldn't have risked it if i knew
That on me you would flake
...

Are you all alone tonight?
So alone that you could weep?
Do you hug your pillows tight?
Will you cry yourself to sleep?
...

What to the world, defines a weed?
If you hate thorns, a rose, indeed
And maybe to you a daisy is cute
So I wouldn't expect, you'd sever its root
...

Staring at a pale white page
Wondering what to write
Looking for some kind of muse
To let my thoughts take flight
...

Rid me of your glowing ember
The one that burns within desire
What price I'd pay to not remember
The soothing smoke from off your fire
...

Life seems so easy through the eyes of a child
For joy seems so great and pain seems so mild
But when the years unfold the world seems so wild
This is when you know what it means to cry
...

He's high in spirits low in soul
And like his drink he's bitter
Reminiscing of the days of youth
When he was strong and fitter
...

If you would listen carefully
Everytime I hold you near
You will find the sweetest song
That your ears could ever hear
...

Love is irration disguised as passion
A madness no one can evade
It hurts when it goes, the scars never close
Heartbreak is a price we've all paid
...

I lost my smile some time ago
And for the while am stuck in woe
My pain is piled and stacked on show
I am defiled and feeling low
...

Treat me like a lump of clay
And mould me as you please
Let me be the man you want
The one you want to squeeze
...

I love to rest my head on a grassy pillow
Near the waving branches of a willow
Not a care in the air of the summertime
Just peaceful calm that's soothing sublime
...

What sweetness held between my arms
She's soft as silk and warm to touch
Trapped and bound within her charms
I fear I love her far too much
...

What can it be, which bows my lip
Every time I see your face
Your beauty caused my heart to skip
And lose sight of its rhythmic pace
...

I don't need a gift this year
Already have what I hold dear
You gave me all I need to live
There's nothing else you need to give
...

Here, I lament the death of a child
Though not deceased, but gone the same
Thrown from shelter into wild
Left unguarded, life's fair game
...

I love the way my Soapy Bubbles
Eases woe and all my troubles
Calms my nerves and make me smile
Keeps me clean when all is vile
...
